   Yes you can get condensation issues if they are not sealed back properly.

   i done mine and doesnt look too bad tbh, but im still on the prail for new ones that comes already smoked , just looks that it better, but if you dont wanna pay out money for new/second ones then i just put mine in the oven for a short time and pulled off fairly easy

   one of mine misted, took it apart, wiped clean/dryed, and re-sealed and seemed to do the trick

    yeah its not that i dont wanna do it myself, but like you said i think the manufactured smoked ones just look that bit better - i think the reflective part is darker
    
    so back to the original question, best place for them?
